by any self-respecting Christian or other nation in history. Nor is it common-sense to ignore lust of blood in
unregenerate man as a form of evil which has to be combated "within the limits, set by Allah" (Q. ix. 112). (9.111)
17:15 - Who receiveth guidance receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his
own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our
Wrath until We had sent an apostle (to give warning). 21902191
2190 The doctrine of personal responsibility is insisted on, and the basis of ethics is shown to be our own good or evil as
furthering or obstructing our highest development. (17.15)
2191 The doctrine of vicarious atonement is condemned. Salvation for the wicked cannot be attained by the punishment of
the innocent. One man cannot bear the burden of another: that would be unjust. Every man must bear his own
personal responsibility. Cf. vi. 164. But Allah never visits His wrath on anyone until due warning is conveyed to him
through an accredited messenger. (17.15)
23:1 - The Believers must (eventually) win through 2865
2865 Aflaha: win through, prosper, succeed, achieve their aims or obtain salvation from sorrow and all evil. This verse
connects on with verses 10 and 11 below. The success or victory may come in this world, but is certain and lasting in
the world to come. (23.1)
23:102 - Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy they will attain salvation: 2942
2942 Good and evil deeds will be weighed against each other. If the good deeds prevail, the soul will attain falah, i.e.,
prosperity, well-being, bliss, or salvation; if the contrary, there will be the misery and anguish of Hell. (23.102)
25:15 - Say: "Is that best or the eternal Garden promised to the righteous? For them that is a
reward as well as a goal (of attainment). 30693070
3069 Shifting the scene back to this life, they may fairly be asked: "Here is the result of the two courses of conduct: which
do you prefer?" (25.15)
3070 To the righteous, the final Bliss will in one sense be a reward. But the word "reward" does not truly represent facts, for
two reasons: (1) the Bliss will be greater than they deserved; and (2) righteousness is its own reward. The best way of
expressing the result would be to say that their highest Wish will now have been attained; the goal will have been
reached; they will be in Allah's Presence. That is salvation in the highest. (25.15)
27:2 - A Guide; and Glad Tidings for the Believers 3241
3241 Revelation is here presented in three aspects: (1) it explains things, the attributes of Allah, our own position, and the
world around; (2) it directs us to right conduct and keeps us from evil; and (3) to those who have Faith and accept its
guidance, it gives the good news of forgiveness, purification, and the achievement of salvation. (27.2)
28:67 - But any that (in this life) had repented believed and worked righteousness will have hopes
to be among those who achieve salvation.
30:43 - But set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from Allah the Day which there
is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two). 35593560
3559 We should recover the balance that has been upset by Evil and Falsehood before it is too late. For a Day will surely
come when true values will be restored and all falsehood and evil will be destroyed. Nothing but repentance and
amendment can avert the consequences of Evil. When the Day actually comes, repentance will be too late: for the
impassable barrier between Evil and Good will have been fixed, and the chance of return to Allah's pattern will have
been lost. (30.43)
3560 The sharp division will then have been accomplished between the unfortunate ones who rejected Truth and Faith and
will suffer for their rejection, and the righteous who will attain Peace and Salvation: see next verse. Note that the state
of the Blessed will not be merely a passive state. They will actively earn and contribute to their own happiness. (30.43)
31:3 - A Guide and a Mercy to the Doers of Good, 3581
A guide to all, and, to those who accept its guidance, a source of mercy as leading them to Salvation. (31.3)
33:71 - That He may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins: he that obeys
Allah and His Apostle has already attained the highest Achievement. 3776
3776 This is salvation, the attainment of our real spiritual desire or ambition, as we are on the highway to nearness to Allah.
(33.71)
35:32 - Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our servants as We have chosen:
but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle
course; and some who are by Allah's leave foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.
